The banker replied， "Yes， yes， indeed， we did. That's the one we're looking for now."

God Is Watching

The students were lined up in the cafeteria for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.

The nun made a note， and posted on the apple tray： "Take only one. God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line， at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note， "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
